The horrific shooting of an unarmed wounded Iraqi in a mosque shocked the world. But what really happened that day was never publicised. This exclusive report reveals the true story.
\"I knew I had filmed something that has been captured on camera very few times in war,\" states NBC reporter Kevin Sites. His footage of a marine shooting a wounded combatant was so shocking that most American audiences didn\'t even get to see it. NBC released only a single black and white still. But even worse than the shooting, Sites alleges that four other wounded men were also killed in cold blood that day at the mosque. \"These men were definitely shot again, freshly shot, after having been wounded the day before.\" The killing of the other insurgents was largely ignored by the media at the time. With the war such a hot political issue in America, the press is reluctant to criticise the actions of its own soldiers. In the original NBC report, Sites went to great lengths to justify the marine\'s actions. But while the soldier involved was cleared of any wrong doing, Sites himself came under attack for releasing the footage. \"I received thousands of hate mails and death threats saying I was a traitor.\" The real issue of acceptable rules of combat seems to have been lost in the rush to discredit Site...

Fallujah, Ramadi fall to Al-Qaeda-linked forces

In 2013, Iraq faced its deadliest year since 2008, with a total death count of nearly 9,000 civilians and security forces. And 2014 is starting off deadly in Iraq as well.

Al Qaeda claims key Iraqi city of Fallujah

Al Qaeda claims key Iraqi city of Fallujah

Beirut: A rejuvenated al-Qaeda-affiliated force asserted control over the western Iraqi city of Fallujah on Friday, raising its flag over government buildings and declaring an Islamic state in one of the most crucial areas that US troops fought to pacify before withdrawing from Iraq two years ago.
The capture of Fallujah came amid an explosion of violence across the western desert province of Anbar in which local tribes, Iraqi security forces and al-Qaeda-affiliated militants have been fighting one another for days in a confusingly chaotic three-way war.
Elsewhere in the province, local tribal militias claimed they were gaining ground against the al-Qaeda militants who surged into urban areas from their desert strongholds this week after clashes erupted between local residents and the Iraqi security forces.

Iraq prime minister urges people of Fallujah to expel al-Qaida

Iraqi Prime Minister has called on the residents and tribal members in the western city of Fallujah, in Anbar province, to expel the terrorists who \"have infested\" the city.
The cities of Fallujah and Ramadi in Anbar province have been the scene of deadly clashes between security forces and the al-Qaeda-affiliated militants over the past days.
Iraqiya state TV reported on Monday that Nouri al-Maliki urged \"the people of Fallujah and its tribes to expel the terrorists\" so that \"their areas are not subjected to the dangers of armed clashes.\"
Al-Maliki\'s comments come as government officials have started talks with tribal leaders to seek their help in repelling the militants in Anbar Province.
On Sunday, over thirty people, including soldiers and civilians, were killed in clashes between Iraqi security forces and al-Qaeda-linked militants in Ramadi.
Earlier in the day, Iraqi jets launched an airstrike against the militants in the city on the Euphrates River, killing 25 al-Qaeda-linked militants.
Iraqi security forces are preparing for a major attack on Fallujah. Special Forces conducted several operations in the city on Sunday.
The fighting left more than 100 people dead in the two flashpoint cities on Friday, security officials said.
The violence broke out on December 30, 2013, when the army removed an anti-government protest camp in Ramadi. Authorities said the camp was used as \"headquarters for the leadership of al-Qaeda.\"...
